Davy Harwood in Transition (The Immortal Prophecy 2)

Gavin's eyes darted from her to me. "You know her?"

I nodded.

Then he turned to her. "You know what she is?"

Her eyes leapt. "What? What is she?"

The room shook again, but he smirked back at me. Brown bounced around in a circle. Her eyes were wide as she looked around.

"She's dating my best friend." He smiled. "Luke Roane. Do you know who he is?"

"No." But she frowned. "Should I? I should, shouldn't I? You said it like I should've."

"Ah. No." I was starting to believe I lived in the insane asylum.

"You're dating Luke Roane?" Emily asked from the doorway. She looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

Oh…shit.

CHAPTER TWELVE

Emily stumbled forward, but grabbed Brown as if she were about to fall. "You know Luke?"

I closed my mouth and glanced at Gavin, who winked at me.

'Bastard vampire.'

"Ooh, I heard that!" Brown squeaked.

Gavin looked at her, surprised. So did I, oh hell. If she could hear thoughts, this wasn't good.

"I just heard a thought! Someone thought, 'Bitch?' Is that right? Who would—" Then she jumped and looked at Emily, whose hand was now fisted into her sleeve. "Oh. Nevermind!" She sent us an impish grin. "My bad."

"What's going on?" Pippa stood in the doorway. Her hand stayed on the frame as if she was going to bolt any moment.

Emily turned to her. "Davy is a liar and a cheat. And a backstabber."

Pippa looked at me. Her mouth fell open and the questions flew over her mind. 'What happened? What is Davy lying about? I didn't know she was dating anybody—wait—she's not dating Emily, is she? That wouldn't be good. Oh no. Davy's looking at me! I forgot she can hear my thoughts. Davy, don't listen to me!'

I heard Gavin chuckle behind me and glared at him. I couldn't do anything to Emily or the other girls, but I could hurt him and before I realized what I was doing, a surge of power burst through me. My eyes shifted to the Immortal's whites.

'Get out!' I roared in my head.

The window flung open behind him, the screen disappeared and his body flew backwards, through it. It happened so fast, no one gasped before the screen had reappeared and the window was closed again.

A beat of silence filled the room. Then a thud was heard behind me. I whirled to find Emily on the floor.

Pippa screamed and dropped to her knees. "She fainted! Oh my goodness." Then she glared at me. "This is your fault."

Brown bounced up and down where she stood. "Did you see that?! That was amazing. I'm way more powerful than I thought!"

Pippa's mouth fell open and then closed it with a snap. "I cannot believe any of this."

"Is she okay?" I asked. I hesitated before I crossed the room and knelt beside my roommate.

"She fainted. She's not dead," Pippa snapped at me and stroked Emily's cheek. Then she went still and gasped again.

"What? What?" I reached out and clamped a hand on the wolf's arm. Instantly, I heard her thoughts and was in the swirl of her emotions. They were memories intermixed with images. I saw Pippa as a little girl with the same two braids and overalls. Then I saw her as a puppy. She had a coat of tawny-colored fur. She was running around, stumbling from paws that were too big for her. Then there was another image of a young man. His face was round in shape with brown hair that looked messily rumpled. His eyes stared straight at me, as if he could see me.
